While traveling from your home to your place of business is generally not tax deductible, there are exceptions. The three exceptions are:<\/p>\n
Temporary Work Locations Outside the Metropolitan Area<\/em><\/strong>. A taxpayer (TP) may deduct daily transportation expenses between his residence and a temporary work location outside the metropolitan area where the TP lives and normally works. A \u201ctemporary work location\u201d is when the employment is realistically expected to last a year or less and in fact does last less than a year. If it is expected to last more than a year, it does not qualify as a \u201ctemporary work location\u201d even if the employment lasts less than a year. What constitutes a \u201cmetropolitan area\u201d is often litigated in the courts.<\/p>\n Temporary Work Locations Within the Metropolitan Area<\/em><\/strong>. If the TP has one or more regular work locations away from his residence, the TP may deduct the cost of traveling between his residence and the other work locations.<\/p>\n Personal Residence is Principal Place of Business<\/em><\/strong>. If the TP\u2019s residence is his principal place of business, the TP may deduct daily transportation expenses between the residence and another work location.<\/p>\n If you want to discuss your tax preparation<\/a> and tax planning<\/a> concerns with an experienced tax professional, we invite you to call 610-594-2601<\/a> today to make an appointment at our Exton PA CPA office<\/a> to discuss your situation.
